I tried to cheat and it broke lol

I tried to modify endlessmode.json folder (on mac) to get infinite skill points...

It crashes every time I boot up endless mode but story mode is fine. Even when I put the data back it still crashes... =(

oh dear. This is not officially supported behaviour. :)

I would try removing the file completely. That usually works

thanks!

out of curiosity how would I get infinite skill points?

win infinite levels :3

oh thats how you do it.

hadn't thought of that... lol

There's a community thread about cheats that I've dropped some hints on. Since modding really isn't supported at this point, I do have to say all info in that thread is provided as-is. If you run into problems, the only official support is to hold "S" during launch to display where your save-data folder is and to rename or delete it. This will reset everything to its default, and fix any json files that were modified incorrectly. Your unofficial support is that you can delete only the mode that is giving you the issue and the game will regenerate just those files. Messing with json files can be daunting without using third-party programs like Notepad++ - I'd recommend giving that program a shot if you want to dig around and modify things. NP++ has json syntax highlighting so you can see if your modifications will parse correctly. That's what I use when testing.

https://panic.com/coda/ - This looks like it will do the job.

Edit: Just saw that coda might cost money to use, so here's another you can try: https://macromates.com/download

Hopefully one of them has a "free for personal use" thing going on. - I'm surprised to see sites offering licenses for text editors.

Edit 2: I found a really good online tool that parses json very nicely: http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/


Again, info provided as-is ;-)

thanks!

hmmm

every time I try to do it it no longer crashes but it just starts a new human...

this is what I am putting into the json file:

{

"$type": "GameData, Assembly-CSharp",

"NumClones": 0,

"NumLevelsWon": 0,

"CurentLevelID": "Bronze9",

"PlayerUpgrades": {

"$type": "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[UpgradeType, Assembly-CSharp],[System.Int32, mscorlib]], mscorlib",

"BlockSwords": 2

},

"AvailableSkillPoints": 10,

"HumanFacts": {

"$type": "HumanFactSet, Assembly-CSharp",

"FirstName": "Boris",

"LastName": "Hamilton",

"Occupation": "Flower grower",

"GenderIsFemale": false,

"Age": 70,

"FavouriteColorIndex": 8

},

"LevelIDsBeatenThisPlaythrough": {

"$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, mscorlib]], mscorlib",

"$values": []

},

"LevelPrefabsBeatenThisPlaythrough": {

"$type": "System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.String, mscorlib]], mscorlib",

"$values": []

}

}

You need to beat at least level 1 before any modifications will save properly.

ah.

I tried it on a blank save and it gave me the points but not the name or anything like that. THanks!
